Let the assistant run a whole game hands free: it asks the questions, takes answers, scores them, and reacts.
Auto Host runs a trivia game for you. Once you start it, it walks the room through every round on its own timers: it shows each question, opens answers for the players, grades what comes in, reveals the correct answer, and moves on to the next question. You can stand at the bar and watch it play.
You stay in control. You can pause the game to make an announcement, resume when you are ready, or stop the engine entirely and take over by hand. Auto Host is a paid host feature: your plan unlocks it and sets how many auto hosted games you can run each month.
Auto Host has three modes, and you pick one per game. Full Auto runs the whole night by itself, exactly as described on this page. Hybrid keeps you on the mic while the assistant helps behind the scenes. Auto Scoring is the lightest touch: you host every beat yourself and the assistant only grades the answers as they come in.
Auto Host attaches to a game you already built. You configure it while the game is in setup, then start the engine. The engine needs at least one round with questions before it will run.
You can only configure Auto Host while a game is in setup or paused, and you can only start it from setup. Configure it before the crowd arrives.
The engine moves through a fixed loop for every question: it opens the game, introduces the round, shows the question, accepts answers for a set window, grades them, reveals the answer, and adds a line of commentary. Then it advances to the next question, the next round, or the game wrap up.
Timings are yours to set. The snappy defaults hold each question on screen for about 20 seconds and linger on the reveal for about 6 seconds, with short gaps between questions and rounds. Slow them down for a chatty crowd or tighten them up for a fast night.
Adaptive difficulty (a Pro plan feature) lets the engine pick the next question to match how the room is doing, easing up on a struggling crowd and pushing a sharp one.
The personality shapes the tone of everything the assistant says. Four are built in: witty (quick quips and light puns), professional (polished game show warmth), casual (relaxed game night energy), and snarky (playful, gentle ribbing, never mean). Pick the one that fits your room.
The personality only changes the voice and the banter. The questions, the scoring, and the pacing are the same whichever one you choose.
With commentary on, the assistant writes a short reaction at each beat of the game: welcoming the room, teeing up a round, reacting to the reveal, and calling out close scores. Each line spends a small amount of Brain Credits, so commentary only runs when your wallet can cover it.
You can add a spoken voice on top of the text. When voice is on, the commentary is read aloud through the venue display so the room hears a real host. Voice is a higher tier feature, and you can preview and tune the voice, speed, pitch, and volume before the night.
Commentary and voice are optional. A game can run fully hands free with them both off, which spends no Brain Credits at all.
The enhanced commentary model writes richer banter than the standard one and is available on the higher plans.
The same engine powers solo practice games and auto hosted tournament matches. In those cases it runs silently: it drives the bots, grades the answers, and tallies scores with no commentary and no voice, so it costs nothing to run. That is why a practice game can play any time of day without a human at the controls, and why a bracket can advance itself between matches.
If a platform administrator has switched Auto hosting off site wide, the start button is unavailable until it is turned back on.
Pausing the engine pauses the game clock. Nothing advances until you resume, so it is safe to hold the room for a toast or a bar break.
